Masdar City is a planned zero-carbon, zero-waste city in Abu Dhabi, UAE that will rely entirely on renewable energy. The city is being developed to minimize energy and water usage through sustainable design principles including solar orientation, efficient buildings, district cooling and heating, and water recycling. Transportation within Masdar City will utilize electric vehicles and personal rapid transit systems to reduce emissions. Once completed, Masdar City aims to house 50,000 residents and 1,500 cleantech companies in a self-sufficient, car-free urban environment powered solely by renewable energy.
The vision of Masdar City (the world’s first zero-carbon city to be created before 2020) was shared by the Masdar City team at a September 16, 2009, business-to-business seminar held at MaRS.
The seminar attracted nearly 70 cleantech suppliers, green technology leaders, government policy makers and sector funders. This presentation is an overview of the Masdar City project for this seminar.

CAMILLO SITTE
He was an Austrian architect, born Vienna in 1843
Camillo Sitte was the son of the architect Franz Sitte(1808–79) and the father of the architect Siegfried Sitte (1876–1945).
He was an art historian and architect whose writings, according to Eliel Saarinen, were familiar to German-speaking architects of the late 19th century.
He was also an painter and urban theorist whose work influenced urban planning and land use regulation.
Sitte traveled extensively in Western Europe, seeking to identify the factors that made certain towns feel warm and welcoming.
Sitte saw architecture was a process and product of culture.

Investing In The US As A Canadian… And How To Do It RIGHT!! (feat. Erwin Szet...Volition Properties
=== Investing In The US As A Canadian… And How To Do It RIGHT!! (feat. Erwin Szeto) ===
Ever been curious about Real Estate Investing in the US?? At Volition, for the past 14 years, we have been focused on helping investors invest in over $250M of real estate and generate $100M of wealth in the Toronto market, but we are always open to learning more about other business models and learning from other investors.
The US has always been an intriguing market to invest in. But the US is a big place… if you’re interested in investing in the US, you probably have a lot of questions, like:
☑️ Specifically WHERE should you invest?
☑️ What are the best markets to invest in and why?
☑️ How much are property prices there?
☑️ What are the returns like?
☑️ What is cashflow like?
☑️ Compared to investing in Toronto or other cities in Ontario, what are the benefits / tradeoffs?
☑️ What ownership structure should I use?
☑️ What are the tax implications?
☑️ Can I get financing?
☑️ What are tenants like?
Enter Erwin Szeto, a longtime friend of Volition. Since 2005, Erwin Szeto and his team have navigated the challenging landscape of being landlords in Ontario. Now, they are shifting their focus and guiding their clients' investments toward the more landlord-friendly environment of the USA. This decision comes after assisting Canadian clients in transacting over $440,000,000 in income properties. Faced with issues like affordability constraints, tenant-friendly laws, rent control, and rental licensing in Canada, Erwin sees a clear opportunity in the U.S. Here, there is a significant influx of investments leading to the creation of high-paying manufacturing jobs. Erwin and his clients are poised to capitalize on these opportunities where landlord rights are stronger and there is no rent control.
To facilitate this transition, Erwin has partnered with and become a client of SHARE, a one-stop-shop U.S. Asset Manager. Founded by Canadians for Canadians, SHARE enables as passive an ownership experience as possible for landlords in the U.S., while still maintaining direct, 100% ownership.

Conclusion
3. Sustainability… capacity to endure
• The term describes how biological
systems remain diverse and
productive over time.
• Sustainable development, basically,
refers to the development that
takes place without effecting the
needs of future generation.
• A sustainable city (eco-city) is a city
designed with consideration of
environmental impact, inhabited by
people dedicated to minimization
of required inputs of energy, water
and food, and waste output of
heat, air pollution - CO2, methane,
and water pollution.
5. Masdar (the source)
• Masdar City is an arcology project in Abu Dhabi, in the U.A.E.
• It is being built by Masdar (Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company) &
planned to be completed by 2030.
• Designed by the British architectural firm Foster and Partners and
engineering and environmental consultancy Mott MacDonald, the city
will rely entirely on solar energy and other renewable energy sources,
with a zero waste ecology.
• The city is designed to be a hub for cleantech companies.
6. Location
Masdar City is being
constructed 17
kilometres (11 mi) south-
east of the city of Abu
Dhabi, beside Abu Dhabi
International Airport.
7. Land Use
Plan
- Masdar Institute of
Science and Technology
- Commercial
- Light Industry
- Residential
- Car parking
- Entertainment
- Green spaces
8. Design & Plan
• Planners recognised that the biggest environmental gains come from
some of the most passive, and least expensive, tools: the city’s (and
buildings’) orientation (with regards to the sun and prevailing winds)
and its form.
• Next most effective is building performance optimisation, such as an
efficient envelope and systems, and smart building management.
• Active controls, such as renewable energy, are the most expensive,
while offering the lowest relative environment-impact returns. That’s
why designers first concentrated on orientation and performance
optimisation, thereby reducing a large amount of energy demand with
little cost, and only subsequently looked at what active controls could
be implemented.
9.
10. Masdar City minimises energy consumption by deploying best
commercially available international energy efficient techniques and
setting stringent building efficiency guidelines in areas such as
• insulation,
• low-energy lighting specifications,
• the percentage of glazing (i.e., windows)
• optimizing natural light,
• installing smart appliances, ex: building management systems
• a citywide energy management system that interacts to manage the
electrical load on the grid – all along the system, from the utility to
the consumer.
Energy Management
11. Savings
• Energy efficient
design
• Energy generation
from renewable
resources
• Waste converted to
energy
• Transportation
• Sequestration
• 100% Powered by
renewable energy
• 170 MW
Photovoltaics
• <30 KW per capita
per day energy use
• (9x less than USA)
12. Water
Management
• Masdar city’s water needs are less
than half of a city like Abu Dhabi i.e.
145 ltr/person/day as compared to
350 ltr/person/day BAU.
• However, this does not include
water required for district cooling,
which could double the amount of
water required by the city.
• To achieve these lower
consumption figures, the city is
using highly efficient fittings, fixtures
and appliances, smart water metres
that inform consumers of their
consumption, and smart metres to
identify leakage across the system
are already in use.
• Master plan was to desalinate
groundwater with solar energy, but
for now water is piped in from one
of Abu Dhabi's gas-fired, high-
energy, desalination plants.
15. Masdar City is piloting
• pedestrian focused community
• sustainable transportation solutions,
• a Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) (Level3)
• a Freight/Light Rapid Transit (FRT/LRT)
system (Level1)
Masdar City also has initiated an electric
car pilot with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries
to test a point-to-point transportation
solution for the city that uses Mitsubishi
Motor’s i-MiEV, five-door hatchbacks
Transportation
17. Construction Material
• Water-based paints that
have no volatile organic
compound, which harm
human health
• Reinforcing bars made of
100% recycled steel
• Green concrete that used ground
granulated blasted slag to replace
cement, resulting in a reduction
of the concrete carbon footprint
by 30-40% of CO2
18. • The houses and shops
have thick walls made of
dried coral and gypsum
that absorb heat during
the day, releasing it slowly
at night.
• 100% sustainably sourced
timber
• 90% recycled-content
aluminium used for the inner
façade
19. Landscaping
• Balanced land use with high
density living,
• Vernacular based landscape
strategy using local species for
reduced irrigation demands,
• Consolidated open spaces and
recreational areas
• Vegetation landscapes will create
a habitat for endangered species
and generate air movement to
public areas
20. • Vertical farming is to
minimize transport and
food chilling emissions –
fresh vegetables fruit and
grains will be grown in
specially designed
greenhouses and
attached farms.
• Entire project has been
constructed on a north -
east axis – which offers
the best options for
naturally utilizing
shading and breezes.
• A diagonal orientation
Narrow streets and
shaded alleyways
minimize solar gain and
glare
22. • At the moment, it seems like a
theme park for the rich. In
order to be Sustainable, it
should also justify itself
financially.
• The result feels a bit like
Disneyland. Mr. Foster
acknowledged “Disneyland is
attractive because all the
service is below ground. We
do the same here — it is
literally a walled city.
Traditional cars are stopped at
the edges.”
Conclusion
23. • The new development, being
built on the outskirts of Abu
Dhabi city, will run almost
entirely on energy from the
sun and will use just 20
percent as much power as a
conventional city of similar size.
• Masdar City will eventually be
a base for international
companies, academics and
researchers and marketers.
• Planners predict that the
development will attract 1,500
clean-tech businesses, ranging
from large international
corporations to startups, and
eventually some 50,000
residents.
